Long a landmark for seafood in the Windy City, Burhop's is back after a six-year
absence. The venerable seafood retail business  which got started in 1923 and once
had five locations  has returned to Chicago under the joint ownership of Isaac
Oberman (BS Accountancy) and his partner Dirk Fucik. Located in the Father & Son
Plaza at 609 West North Avenue, the 3,500 square-foot shop stocks at least twenty
different kinds of fish, according to the Chicago Tribune, and a wide variety of
shellfish. Choices may range from brook trout, swordfish, and salmon to alligator, turtle,
and crawdads. Fish may be purchased already prepped for home-cookery, and the store stocks
various groceries for customer convenience. While the last Burhop's in Chicago closed in
1992, Burhop's in Willamette has been in business for twenty years.

Albert Culbertson (BS Commerce Curriculum 1948) writes in
to say that he was intrigued by the history of UIUC and Commerce which ran in the Winter
issue of InSight  especially the picture of the Broadwalk on page six.
"The girl in the middle in front is my wife Shirley Dunbar Culbertson,"
he observes, adding, "this picture was on the cover of the Illinois Central railroad
passenger time table. It was taken when we were students in 1947-48." Shirley (BS
Home Economics 1948) and Albert have lived in the Cleveland area since graduating. A
former member of the board of the University Alumni Association, he retired after forty
years as a general building contractor. The couple resides in Moreland Hills, Ohio.

1963

"Contentious, contemplative and candid." That's how the Sun-Times
describes "Chicago Week in Review," a long-running public affairs show that airs
on WTTW television. Hosted by news analyst private attorney Joel Weisman (BS

a retrospective, featuring the ten journalists who, of the hundreds to subject themselves
to Weisman's tough questioning over the years, have appeared most frequently on the show.
Thomas Hardy, press secretary to Governor Jim Edgar and former political writer for the Chicago
Tribune, observes: "The show has a surprisingly loyal and large following made up
of opinion-shapers and opinion-makers in the Chicago area. You have to think fast and come
up with an intelligent response, or he's going to make fun of you right there."
